At this point there is no really authentic way for us to say who or what to look for and guard yourself against.

“The following is a contributor post by the ABXY Mage.”

Some would say that Resident Evil (1996) is one of the most influential games of all time. After six sequels, several spinoffs, a movie franchise, and two remakes, does the original still hold up? The Bizzaro Mage and I try to determine this through a civil discussion about the merits and shortcomings of the classic title.

In this episode, we talk about how The Bizzaro Mage came to join The Well-Red Mage and how he was introduced to the Resident Evil series. On whether or not Resident Evil is still a good game, we start by covering the graphics and visual style as well as the music and sound effects.

The ABXY Mage leads a double life of unfathomable hipness, if his expertise in jazz is any indication. Music maker, fandangoist, writer, you can find this hip cat as ABXY Reviews on Twitterandon YouTube.
